About MilSat Symposium 2022

The 2022 MilSat Symposium will foster new channels of communication between national space defense and industry. As older methodologies of contracting the development of custom-made satellites, sensors, ground equipment and software have become largely obsolete, the necessity for open communication between DOD and industry has never been greater. To build these new channels, of communication, the MilSat Symposium focuses on connecting leaders from the commercial space industry to defense decision-makers.
